WHIP-CONNECTION.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 271,504, dated January30, 1883.

Application filed November 15, 1882. No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM J. MoRANn, of Passaic, in the county ofPassaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in VVhip-Oonnections, of whichthe following is a full,clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification,

in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts inall the figures.

Figure 1 is an elevation of a part of a whip to which my improvement hasbeen applied. .Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of my improve- 1 ment.Fig. 3 is an elevation, partly in section, of my improvement shown upona mandrel in process of formation.

The object of this invention is to provide a means for securelyconnecting the tipswith the bodies of whips, and which shall be soformed as not to injure the covers of the said tips and bodies, whilebeing readily applied thereto.

The invention consists in a whip-connection made of coiled wire havingthe coils brazed to each other and the ends turned and finished to thedesired form, as will be hereinafter fully described.

A represents the body, and B the tip, of a 0 whip, which are made andcovered in the ordinary manner.

0 is the connection, which is formed of wire wound spirally round amandrel, D, as illustrated in Fig. 3. When a connection of the desiredlengt I has been formed it is removed from the mandrel D, and is brazedin the ordinary manner to firmly connect the coils of the wire to eachother, care being taken to prevent the spaces between the coils frombecoming filled with solder, and thus giving a smooth inner or outersurface. The ends of the brazed connection are then turned and finishedin a lathe, or by other suitable means, to the desired form. Theconnection 0 can then be ornamented and polished or plated, as may bedesired. With this construction the inner surface of the connection willbe provided with around spiral thread,

so that it can be readily screwed upon and 0d the euds'of the tip 13,and body Aof the whip will keep its place securely, and will not cut orotherwise injure the covers of the said tip and body. The connectionscan be sold separately, or can be permanently attached to the tips andsold therewith, as may be desired.

I am aware that ferrules have bel'pre been made of wire solderedtogether; but I do not know that they have before been brazed and turnedon their outsides to form neatly-finished articles suitable for thedescribed; and

I claim as my-invention- As an improved article of manufacture, a brazedcoiled-wire whip connection or ferrule with turned and finished ends,substantially 6 as specified.
